There's a big report out today that Hillary Clinton spent 1.2 billion dollars in her losing campaign for president. Think about that for a moment.
1. Hillary spent much much more than Trump and the Republicans. It seems that either money just doesn't work or one has to actually know how and where to spend the money for it to make a difference. Remember all those months over last summer when Hillary's team was running attack after attack on Trump on TV and the pundits were telling us that Trump's failure to run counter ads would destroy his ability to win? Five states where Hillary ran endless attack ads are PA, MI, OH, NC and FL. Trump won every one of them.
2. The reports don't tell us how much Hillary actually raised. If I know the Clintons, they raised 1.3 or 1.4 billions dollars and spent 1.2 with the remainder sitting in a fund somewhere put aside for future use. And then there's the cash that got siphoned off directly to the Clintons. During the campaign we heard that Hillary was paying herself a salary out of campaign funds. How much was that?
3. The Democrats spent much of the campaign denouncing the influence of money on the election. The truth, however, is that the big bucks went to the Democrats and those dollars did not work their magic.
